Liberty University School of Aeronautics

Committed to equipping, mentoring, and sending Champions for Christ into the aerospace community, the Liberty University School of Aeronautics strives to prepare graduates who will serve the Lord as missionary aviators. Our alumni are currently serving as pilots and aircraft maintenance technicians with a wide variety of mission aviation organizations around the world. Our respective Part 141 and Part 147 FAA approved flight and maintenance programs will ensure you are technically excellent and equipped to serve, but more importantly, our faculty, staff, academic courses, and student mentorship programs will ensure you are prepared spiritually to serve the Lord in his calling as a missionary aviator.
